Ingredients

1 lb skinless boneless salmon cut into 1-inch pieces
8 –10 zucchini slices
8 –10 bell pepper pieces
3 tablespoon olive oil
⅓ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried herbs

Instructions

Toss and marinate salmon pieces at room temperature for 5-10 minutes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half of the salt, the paprika, and half of the dried herbs.
Toss and marinate zucchini slices and bell pepper pieces with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle over the rest of the salt and herbs.
Assemble the skewers by alternating salmon pieces with the vegetables on wooden or metal skewers. Preheat the air fryer if your model requires it. Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
Cook at 360°F (180°C) for 8 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time (around 4 minutes), carefully flip the skewers to ensure even browning on all sides. Remove the skewers from the air fryer once the salmon is cooked through and slightly golden on the edges.

Notes

1. Serving - Serve immediately while hot or warm, with tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side. These skewers also pair well with a light salad or roasted potatoes.

2. Extras - You can also add optional ingredients like cherry tomatoes, lemon rounds, or thinly sliced shallots for extra color and flavor.
